Protected from .the weather by windbreakers and high rubber boots, they quickly bought up all the implements and livestock for an estimated total of $10,000. Mr. Morley is one of the best- known young farmers in Middle­ sex County, Reeve of McGillivray Township, he is also chairman of the county road committee. He is giving up active farming and go­ ing into the gravel business, but will continue to live in his neat little home at "Silver Creek Farm’’ three miles north of Ailsa Craig. Bidding Spirited Originally, the auction sale was scheduled for March 27. A sur­ prise $ snowstorm _ postponed that. Thursday wasn’t much better, but the spirited bidding made up for what the weather lacked. A variety of farm implements, many selling for more than M*r. Morley .paid for them several years ago, went for about $3,000. The remaining $7,000 was paid for some 50 head of Hereford and Durham cattle, several of them registered. The barnyard at Silver Creek Farm resembled somewhat the Middlesex County Council cham­ ber on a busy day. Quite a few councilors and ex-councilors were in the crowd, among them Charles Cousins, reeve of Westminster Township; A. D. Steeper, deputy­ reeve of McGillivray; S. S. Robin­ son, ex-reeve of Ailsa Craig; James Hill, ex-reeve of East Williams, and Freeman Hodgins, former iMiddle- the sex County warden, Nearly $3,000 Biggest total price was paid by S. S. Robinson, internationally known beef cattle man who is tak­ ing over the grass lands of Mr. Morley’s farm to pasture his herds. He paid nearly $2,000 for seven cows, five steers and a Herefords. Mr. Robinson chased more than $400 implements. Robert McCubbin, M.P. Middlesex, was on hand and bought seven two-year-old white-faced steers for a total price of $1,085. Highest price for an individual animal was paid by Etherington, of Exeter, $390 for a two-year-old purebred heifer. He also 'bought three grade cows for a total of $600, and three grade heifers for $420, bringing his total purchase to $1,400. J. R.
